According to recent reports, car dealers are informing auto manu facturers that they have too many electric vehicles on their lots and are dialing back orders until their current inventory is soId. Scott Kunes, Chief Operating Officer at Kunes Auto and RV Group, explained that his company is turning away additional EV inventory.
“We have turned away EV inventory. We need to ensure that we have a good turn on it,” he said, as reported on Business Insider. Kunes said that automakers are “asking us to make a Iarge investment….and we’re just wanting to see some return on that.”
Sam Fiorani, Vice President of global vehicle forecasting at AutoForecast Solutions, outlined how EVs aren’t practical for many Americans as they would have to alter their lifestyle when switching from a gas-powered car. “It’s not just that these vehicles are expensive — which they are. We’re talking about a much more nuanced Iifestyle change,” said Fiorani. EVs obviously have a more constrained range than gas-powered vehicles, and charging stations can be sparsely located.
EVs are also notably more expensive than traditional combustion engine-based cars. According to Consumer Reports, the average sale price of an EV is over $61,000, or $12,000 more expensive than the overall average in the auto industry. “It’s hard for the average customer to make that leap while spending an extra $10,000,” Fiorani continued.
Electric vehicle horror stories have also plagued the news, where consumers share personaI anecdotes of the dysfunctionality of these cars. Recently, a Ford F-150 Lightning owner was forced to ditch his EV on a road trip from Winnipeg to Chicago.
The all-electric Ford pickup retails for well north of $100k. However, based on the sentiment from disgruntled consumers, it seems this truck does not live up to its price tag. The man called electric vehicles the “biggest scam of modern times” after his experience with his F-150 Lightning.
While many have lofty projections for EVs in the Iong term, it’s safe to say that these vehicles are not ready to replace the reliability of traditional automobiles. Although, this hasn’t deterred some woke, blue states in the U.S. from preemptively enacting electric vehicle mandates.
For example, California announced it would ban the sale of new gas-powered cars by 2035. Such mandates have drawn concern, particularly from automakers who will be forced to play within the guidelines of these new regulations.
“Whether or not these requirements are realistic or achievable is directIy linked to external factors like inflation, charging and fuel infrastructure, supply chains, labor, critical mineral availability and pricing, and the ongoing semiconductor shortage,” John Bozzella, president and CEO of the Alliance for Automotive Innovation said in a statement. “These are complex, intertwined and global issues.”
Also, many concerns surround the feasibility of a mass transition to electric vehicles. As it stands, this could limit people’s autonomy as driving ranges are limited and charging infrastructure is insufficient. Furthermore, there couId be an affordability crisis as many Americans can’t even afford a new car, let alone the price of a new EV.
When a man truly loves you, he does these 7 things in bed.
1. He looks you in the eye
Eye contact indicates that he is paying close attention to you and is only thinking about you. And he hopes to see that he truly makes her happy in her eyes. Most of the time, if his eyes are not fixed on the woman, it indicates that he is only physically interested in her.
2. He says your name
It implies that he feels an intense connection. It is far more than just attending to a basic physical need. Another indication that the guy is considering and concentrating on you. He praises you and describes you as loving, gorgeous, seductive, and passionate.
3. He kisses you passionately
In essence, only couples who are truly in love exchange kisses. Instead of the rapid transition, it is the passionate kisses that convey a real attitude toward the woman. This indicates that he is savoring each moment he spends with you rather than rushing to complete “his work” and turn it in for the night.
4. He asks if you like what he is doing
A man who genuinely cares about his partner will prioritize her well-being. He takes the time to learn your true preferences in bed because he wants to make sure you’re having a good time. He pays close attention to you and doesn’t want you to do anything you don’t enjoy, making you feel uncomfortable, unpleasant, and possibly bored.
5. It doesn’t slow down the work
The man does not want this time to end because his pleasure with his cherished wife is so intense. As a result, he moves cautiously and strives for perfection. When things are the other way around, everything is rushed through, and his main concern is how to make himself feel good.
6. After that, he continues to lie with you in bed and hug you tenderly
This implies that he is completely enamored with you, that he values your feelings and emotions as well as your importance to him, and that their relationship is beyond mere physical attraction. He definitely loves you if he acts in such a way.
7. A loving explanation
Unfortunately, love and s are strangely intertwined in the minds of many guys. This is the ideal scenario if your spouse tells you he loves you both during and after intimacy. If you feel the same way about him, you are essential to him, he wants you, he loves you, and you have a very deep link with him!
